New York Attorney General Letitia James is serious bada$$.

"Today, I am leading 18 attorneys general in suing to stop this attack.

President Trump doesn’t have the power to give your private information to anyone he wants.

And his unelected billionaire friend can’t cut federal spending with the click of a button."

SHE WON.

In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”

That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.

The righteous #LetitiaJames, NY AG told hospitals "they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments."

I hope this means that NY Langone Health will either get sued for denying on 2.2.25 gender-affirming care to 2 12 year-olds or will reverse their loathsome decision.

Never stop fighting.

Via Kyle Griffin:

New York AG #LetitiaJames says she'll take legal action against the #Trump admin for freezing federal aid.

"My office will be taking imminent legal action against this administration's unconstitutional pause on federal funding."

"We won't sit idly by while this administration harms our families."

"I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump... listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fatass in prison for conspiracy against rights."

The judge ordered #Trump & his co-defendants to pay the state nearly $364M in "#illGottenGains" & interest — from before & after the ruling — that has accrued to >$120M. Since the case is a #civil matter, Trump does not face the prospect of prison time.

Trump was not present for Thursday's arguments. His attorney & a lawyer for #NYAG #LetitiaJames, whose office brought the case, argued before the justices in a Manhattan courtroom.

Lately, she has used her platform to lob overtly #racist & #sexist attacks at #KamalaHarris, the same kind of schlock #Trump shares on social media. In one such example from last week, #LauraLoomer described #Harris, NYAG #LetitiaJames & Fulton County DA #FaniWillis as “meritless DEI Shaniquas.”

…Despite #losing the only #election she has ever run in, she has publicly criticized Trump’s campaign ops, so Team Trump might be placating her — or simply blunting her online kvetching….
